Study secretly tracks cell phone users!

I have to admit, I was somewhat shocked to read today that According to researchers at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, most people rarely venture more than a few miles from home. And these researchers know what they're talking about. Two years ago, in some unnamed country outside the US, they acquired six months of cell phone records describing the daily movements of more than 100,000 people. OK, it's not the business about most people rarely traveling more than a few miles from home, it's the fact that they have rung a few privacy alarms at places like The Associated Press and the Electronic Privacy Information Center. After all, this information was acquired without the knowledge or consent of the phone users. To me, that's illegal!
